1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

General physicians of experience suspected variant angina as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) due to heart burn in two patients. Proton pump inhibitors were administered in these patients, although spontaneous ST segment elevations were recognized and total or subtotal coronary spasm was provoked by the pharmacological spasm provocation tests. Under the vasodilators but not proton pump inhibitors, two patients complained of neither heart burn nor chest symptoms. General internists and cardiologists should bear in mind coronary spasm when they suspect GERD due to heart burn. Guidelines for GERD may note the necessity of differential diagnosis of coronary artery spasm as one of etiology of GERD-related chest symptoms. <
